1. WASC April 7 – 10, 2013 FBHS Accreditation March 27, 2013

2. Remember WASC?  Who can tells us what WASC is and what the acronym stands for?  Western Association of Schools & Colleges  This is the agency that issues accreditations to all high schools in the Western United States.  The WASC teams arrives in TWO weeks.

3. Last Week…  We looked at our school poster and reviewed our school goals.  Can someone share the four goals with the class please?  Let’s review the goal poster one more time.

4. A Closer Look  Select a volunteer to read the following from the goal poster on the next slide:  Mission Statement  Vision Statement  School Mantras (Yes…we will review this poster each week. )

6. What’s Next?  The team arrives April 7.  15 to 20 students will be randomly asked to join the WASC team for lunch in the library on Tuesday, April 9.  If you are one of the students invited to lunch, you may accept or decline the invitation. This is strictly voluntary.  Should you accept, the WASC team will give you a golden ticket which will serve as your pass to the library at the start of lunch.  The team will speak with all the chosen students in a group setting during the lunch period. You get a free lunch; they ask you questions; you answer; you return to class when they have completed the meeting with you.
